Netflix subscribers are flocking to a new Danish thriller series, 'The Asset', which has quickly climbed the streaming platform's charts since its release last week. The six-part drama currently sits at number five in the top ten television shows on Netflix, earning widespread acclaim from viewers and critics alike.
The series follows Tea, a fresh intelligence operative who goes undercover to infiltrate a vicious criminal network that has previously evaded authorities. Adopting a new identity, Tea must build a friendship with Ashley, the partner of crime boss Miran, to gather vital information. However, as Tea grows closer to Ashley and witnesses the harsh reality of her life under Miran's manipulative influence, questions arise about where her true loyalties lie.
On the Facebook group Netflix Recommendations, one user shared a screenshot of the series with the caption: 'Watch this and thank me later.' The post received over a hundred responses, with many viewers endorsing the recommendation. One viewer commented: 'Yes, I'm on episode four. It's 10/10. If you're looking for a six episode binge.' Another noted: 'It is dubbed but easy to watch. I hardly noticed after 10 minutes… it's a great series.'
With an 83% score on Rotten Tomatoes, 'The Asset' has been praised as an 'easy binge' and a must-watch in the crime thriller genre. One critic described it as the ideal follow-up for those who have finished the latest season of 'Slow Horses', calling it an 'extreme' crime drama to binge in one go. A viewer who completed the series shared: 'From the very first scene, you become invested in each character… the pacing is brilliantly handled.'
